Finding Sam Ivy K9 Consultants Inc. has been a life saver, literally and figuratively! Holli has seriously changed our lives and the relationship between my dog and I. Before training, I had adopted a 4 year old doberman/pitty that was so destructive and did not respect me or my belongings. I struggled with coming home to accidents in the house, pulling on leash so badly that I dreaded walking her (was even dragged on the ground on Bayshore one time!), my door completely chewed through while I was at work, dominance issues with my cat, etc. I was so overwhelmed and cried all the time. At a loss, my mom found this company. Holli is not only so knowledgable about dogs in general, but specifically the Staffie breed. She is always available via text if I have a problem or question.. answers within 10 minutes and I not only know what I need to do for my dog, but the rationale behind every behavior and correction. It is like I have a brand new dog in only a few weeks! Family and friends have all seen the drastic change. She can walk on leash without pulling, heels at my side, knows "sit", "stay", "come", "spot" and is overall much, much calmer without requiring medication (was previously requiring Xanax and Trazodone). It has been truly amazing. Consistency is key, but these dogs deserve our love and commitment. It is totally worth every penny spent. I can't thank Holli and the team at Sam Ivy enough for saving my dog's life and my own quality of life. Thank you SO much from the bottom of my heart!
